11-FIRST START-UP
WARNINGS BEFORE IGNITION
GENERAL WARNINGS
Remove all parts that may burn from the brazier and the glass (manual, various adhesive labels or any polystyrene).
Check that the brazier is positioned correctly and rests properly on the base.
The first start-up may not be successful as the feed screw is empty and does not always manage to load the brazier
with the required amount of pellets in time to light the flame.
CLEAR THE FAILED IGNITION ALARM FROM THE STOVE PANEL OR APP.
REMOVE THE PELLETS LEFT IN THE BRAZIER AND REPEAT IGNITION. (SEE “SAFETY DEVICES/ALARMS” PARAGRAPH)
If, after repeated attempts, the flame fails to ignite, despite a regular flow of pellets, check the correct positioning of the brazier,
which must rest snugly against the slots. If no anomaly is found during this inspection, there may be a problem with the product
components or installation may not be correct.
REMOVE THE PELLETS FROM THE BRAZIER AND CONTACT AN AUTHORISED TECHNICIAN.
Do not touch the stove during the first start-up, as it is during this phase that the paint sets. If you touch the paint,
you may expose the steel surface.
It is good practice to ensure effective ventilation in the room during the initial start-up, as the stove will emit some
smoke and smell of paint.
If necessary, touch up the paint with the spray can of the specific colour.
Do not stand close to the stove and, as mentioned, air out the room. The smoke and smell of paint will disappear after about an hour of
operation, however, they are not harmful in any case.
The product will be subject to expansion and contraction during the start-up and cooling stages, therefore slight
creaking noises may be heard. This is absolutely normal and must not be considered a defect as the structure is made
of laminated steel.
Upon first ignition, for the first pellet hopper, it is recommended to start the stove at maximum power so that the structure and the
smell of the paint settle more quickly.
It is recommended to install the ceramic or serpentine stone cladding after the first successful ignition.
STOVE
Equipped with MAESTRO system
OPERATION
For the utmost versatility of use, two Wi-Fi modules have been designed, supporting priority connection with your smartphone and/or
handheld remote control (optional).
The stove’s operating status, room temperature, operating parameters (such as ventilation, power, etc.) and any alarms may be checked
remotely.
Attention!
The App is already available in English on the “Handheld remote control” accessory as the language used on the
telephone is set by default. If the App is downloaded onto a personal smartphone, it similarly adopts the language
already in use on the phone. In either case, it is possible to open the “LANGUAGE” screen in the app and select the
desired language.

13-FIRST APP START-UP AND ASSOCIATION WITH MCZ STOVES
The app lets you communicate with MCZ stoves using two technologies:
• home Wi-Fi
• remote Wi-Fi
HOME WI-FI
Point-to-point connection between the telephone and the stove, to communicate with the stove without relying on routers or internet
connections. This is possible when the telephone and stove are located nearby (we recommend max 5 metres). The range of action
depends on the characteristics of the walls and how the home is structured.
REMOTE WI-FI
Connection between the app and stove using an internet connection. With this technology you can communicate with the stove from
anywhere. Near the stove there must be a Wi-Fi router providing an internet connection and the mobile phone in turn must have a data
connection.
The first time you start the app without having configured any devices, the app opens displaying the “device list” screen.
AUTOMATIC MODE
The QR code and the passwords are located at the back of the stove and in the warranty.
Scan the QR code using the camera of the device (accessory or smartphone) and acquire it.
When the code is acknowledged, the app will ask you to enter an identification number for the stove (for example “living room stove”) to
easily identify the stove/s in the list of configured devices.
This will automatically configure the app to work with both home WI-FI and remote WI-FI technology.
6
13-FIRST APP START-UP AND ASSOCIATION WITH MCZ STOVES
MANUAL MODE
The QR code and the passwords are located at the back of the stove and in the warranty. In this case, the codes must be used.
If the stove cannot be configured using the QR code, it can be done using the DIRECT or REMOTE key.
To configure operation in HOME WI-FI mode, click on the “DIRECT” key and the “select device” screen opens. The stoves nearby are scanned;
select your stove and enter the password (located near the QR code at the top) and a stove identification name (for example “living room
stove”) to easily identify the stove/s in the list of configured devices.
To configure operation in REMOTE WI-FI mode, click on the “REMOTE” key and the “SELECT DEVICE” screen opens. Fill in all the fields with
the codes on the label (near the QR code at the bottom) and a stove identification name (for example “living room stove”) to easily identify
the stove/s in the list of configured devices.
CONFIGURE PROBE T°
The access password to the network by the Maestro App must have a maximum of 32 characters. For longer
passwords, for example generated automatically by the router upon initial installation, the length must be modified
according to the procedures for your router.
Additional functions
Once the remote stove Wi-Fi module has been connected to the home router, every time the router is available, the remote stove Wi-Fi
module will reconnect automatically.
If the router is replaced or the password is changed, the remote stove Wi-Fi module will revert to configuration mode as it can no longer
connect.
The WI-FI modules have an auto-reset mechanism.

14-STOVE ACCESSORY CONFIGURATION
CONFIGURATION OF WI-FI TEMPERATURE PROBE FROM MCZ MAESTRO APP
The Wi-Fi temperature probe (ACCESSORY) is supplied without batteries. From when the batteries are inserted, the probe can be configured
within the next 8 minutes. Therefore insert the three AA batteries shortly before you are ready to proceed with the configuration.
Then:
• insert two batteries immediately, then insert the third after placing the sensor next to the Wi-Fi emergency panel (approximately
2 cm)
• wait for the beep-beep indicating that pairing has successfully occurred (it must occur within 10”)
• connect to the stove through the app in home mode
• access the settings - basic settings - accessories menu - selecting the configure accessories item
If the Wi-Fi temperature probe is available for configuration, the key can be selected, while if the key stays disabled check that the probe
CONFIGURE PROBE T°
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
batteries are charged, or check that the maximum available time has not elapsed.
In this case, remove the batteries and put them back in, or press the reset button by inserting a paper clip in the hole to the right of the
sensor dome. From this time on, the 8 minutes for configuration start over again.
If the probe is ready for configuration click the key in the app screen, click T° probe configuration ------ the screen will show the stoves
that the Wi-Fi probe can be associated with; select your stove and enter the home Wi-Fi password (see QR code label).
Once the Wi-Fi probe is connected, you can configure the stove to use the remote sensor; to do this use the shortcut by clicking on the
temperature indicator at the top right of the app screen and select the “Wi-Fi probe” as the temperature input. Or from the setup menu
choose to configure ambient input and select the “Wi-Fi probe” temperature input.
Should it be necessary to reset the Wi-Fi probe, because already coupled to another device or configured incorrectly,
use two paper clips. With the first one, press and hold the key below the bottom left hole and with the other one,
press the key below the right hole once.
Repeat the configuration procedure indicated at the start of the page.
The new App has 5 preset settings making stove management even easier, the consumption of the fuel is optimised and improves the
comfort of use, as it can reach extremely quiet operation.
COMFORT Ideal for all situations requiring maximum comfort. In this mode the stove allows an optimised consumption of the fuel to
guarantee a good heating capacity and the best possible silent operation. Once this mode is activated, the user only has to choose the
desired temperature and the appliance will independently manage the flame and ventilation power to ensure maximum comfort. In fact,
in this mode it is not possible to change the power and ventilation, managed intelligently by the MAESTRO system.
DYNAMIC If you prefer traditional automatic operation with the option of setting the temperature and ventilation.
OVERNIGHTGuarantees the maximum silence possible (noise reduced up to 4 times) allowing the maintenance of the room temperature.
This mode is designed, in fact, for night-time operation or temperature conservation in an already pre-heated room ensuring the lowest
possible acoustic impact. In Overnight mode consumption and ventilation are managed intelligently by the MAESTRO system and for this
reason it is not possible to change its values.
MANUAL For those who prefer to use the product in the traditional manner without any temperature control. In this mode the user can
freely choose the mix of flame power and ventilation regardless of consumption or silence.
POWER Operation at maximum power expressed by the product for a limited time (20 min) in order to allow rapid heating of a cold room.
For the expected performance and consumption in this mode, this function can be reactivated only once every hour.

ECOSTOP
From the ECO STOP menu, it is possible to set and/or edit delayed activation (min) and Reignition hysteresis (C°).
ECO is an automatic mode with the only difference that if the set temperature is reached and remains so for the time (in minutes) that was
selected from the delayed activation drop-down menu (value ranging between 5 and 30 minutes), the product switches off and remains
in stand-by until the room temperature drops below the desired temperature (hysteresis frequency ranges between 2 and 5 minutes). The
product then switches back on again.
If the room is not sufficiently insulated, flame modulation does not allow the set temperature to
stay satisfied for the set time and the product will not switch off.
NOTE: It is recommended to use the ECO mode only in well-insulated rooms in order to prevent
start-up and shutdown from occurring within short periods of time.

Modifying the pellet recipe and air recipe
This function is for adapting the stove to the type of pellet in use. In fact, since there are many types of pellets on the market, operation
of the
stove varies significantly depending on the good or poor quality of the fuel.
The amount of pellets in the brazier can be increased or reduced:
• If the pellets tend to jam in the brazier due to an excess of fuel
• If the flame is increasingly higher even at low power values
• If the flame is always low
ATTENTION! When you access the pellet recipe menu, a POP-UP appears prompting a password. Enter “1234”-
ADAPTIVE MODE
This function is found in the “pellet recipe” menu.
By activating the function (select ON) the stove adapts
its operation in case of special installations or when
using poor quality pellets.
Attention! It is preferable that this mode (“Pellet recipe”/ “Adaptive mode”) be activated under the supervision of a
qualified technician.

Exiting the alarm conditions
Follow the procedure described below to restore normal stove operation after an alarm has been triggered:
• Cancel alarms A01, A02, A03, A05, A21 only from the panel on the stove.
• Cancel the other alarms from the App.
Only alarm A21 emits an intermittent beep as long as the alarm is active. In this situation, the automatic shut-down sequence is activated.
When this sequence is initiated, any attempt to restart the system will be ineffective. The display signals the cause of the blockage.
SOLUTIONS:
If “A03” appears: the structure is too hot because the product has been used for too long at the maximum power or there is poor ventilation.
When the stove cools down sufficiently, clear alarm A03 on the stove panel. Once the alarm is cancelled, the product can be switched on
normally.
If “A04” appears: The stove switches off automatically. Let the stove cool down for a few minutes and then switch it on again. Check the
smoke expulsion and verify the type of pellet used according to the instructions found in the specific chapter of the manual.
If “A05” appears: the door has been left open for too long or a significant amount of air has entered (e.g. missing smoke fan inspection
cap). If these causes are excluded, check and if necessary clean the smoke duct and flue (it is recommended for this operation to be carried
out by an MCZ qualified technician).
The product can be switched on again only after having eliminated the cause permanently.

Series of stoves equipped with a pressure switch installed on the hopper with the sampling point positioned on the bottom, to the right of
the gear motor. This system protects the whole system ensuring tightness of the stove throughout its duration.
It is important to understand that the pressure switch can be triggered with each significant drop in negative pressure and may be due to:
• Flue clogging.
• The presence of a foreign body in the flue (birds, nests, clogged grilles, etc.).
• Wind coming through the flue because it is unprotected or the installation was wall-mounted or required no flue.
• Cold air draught down the flue.
• A damaged pressure switch.
• Blocked membrane inside the pressure switch because soot or pellet dust got in.
• The pellet hopper is open or ajar for more than 60 seconds (60 seconds is the estimated time to reload the hopper).
• Pellets trapped between the hopper cover and the hopper, which prevents the gasket from sealing.
• Broken/worn hopper cover gasket.
• The gasket between the feed screw and the boiler is damaged or positioned incorrectly.
• Fire door is open or the gasket is worn.
• Clogged lateral smoke exchangers.
• Inspection caps with gaskets installed incorrectly after maintenance.
• Feed screw clogged by compressed pellets at the top.
• The installation is compliant and the flue/smoke fitting does not generate obvious obstructions which can stop the release of smoke,
such as: long horizontal sections (over 3 metres), uninsulated smoke ducts, “wall-mounted” smoke exhaust without proper terminals
(installation regulated and permitted in France only [ZONE 3])
• Internal air extraction or recirculation systems (e.g. VMC systems) that generate internal negative pressure exceeding the value
required by law (not exceeding 4 Pa)
• Installed without combustion air ducting, it is crucial to check that there is an efficient air inlet dedicated to the stove, according to
the specifications referred to in chapter 2 of this manual.
The circuit board has also been equipped with an automatic device with a timer and contactors which increase the RPM of the smoke
extractor so as to restore the negative pressure inside the hopper and therefore the pressure switch, if the cover is opened for top-up or if
there is an immediate or occasional pressure drop such as gusts of wind outside. If the pressure drop lasts for more than 60 seconds, the
product goes into alarm status (A05 or A18)
Remembering that the draught recommended for the products to work properly is 10 Pa at maximum capacity and 5 Pa at minimum
48
29-ALARMS
(according to the technical data sheet found in the user and maintenance manual), adjustments may be required in worse draught
conditions (also due to the position of the flue in areas that are particularly subject to adverse weather such as prevailing winds, snow,
northern exposure, etc.) so as to always guarantee the required negative pressure inside the hopper.
To compensate for the lack of internal negative pressure simply adjust the speed (RPM) of the smoke extractor so as to guarantee the
minimum values of the table.
If the negative internal pressure values are noted to be lower than those indicated, this can also be due to the internal gaskets not being
sealed properly or to the product being worn over time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ON NEGATIVE PRESSURE INSPECTIONS AND POSSIBLE VARIATIONS OF THE RPM
Connect a pressure gauge to the pressure outlet on the hopper:
• For products with a specific pressure outlet in the hopper, access the sampling point and connect the pressure gauge
• For products without a dedicated pressure outlet, disconnect the tube of the pressure switch from the pressure outlet on the hopper,
add a “Tee” on the tube to intercept the circuit connecting the pressure gauge and reconnect the tube to the pressure outlet on the
hopper.
Possible adjustments of combustion and consequently of the negative pressure inside the hopper can be implemented in two ways:
A) Changing the RPM value of the smoke extractor in the SETTINGS MENU
• The available values are from -3 to +3 which, as a percentage, correspond to:
• RPM: -10% +10% in Active System products
• RPM: -30% +50% in NON-Active System products
• The percentage variation affects all power values (1 to 5) proportionally and as a percentage. The percentage variation does not affect
intermediate operating stages such as SWITCH ON, FIRE ON or SWITCH OFF
• As the RPM increases, suction also increases and consequently the internal negative pressure, thereby compensating the phenomena
that trigger the alarm.
B) Adjusting the RPM of the gear motor manually in the TECHNICAL PARAMETERS MENU
• The pressure switch has a calibration of 10/20 Pa which means that it trips when the negative pressure inside the hopper drops below
10 Pa and requires more than 20 Pa negative pressure inside the hopper for it to reset
• The negative pressure value at the minimum power must always be higher than 10 Pa while also maintaining a reasonable margin
that can worsen over time due to the gaskets or similar being worn (at least 12/13 Pa)
• The negative pressure at maximum power must always be above 20 so that the pressure switch can reset when the pressure switch
resetting automated device is activated. The pressure switch resetting procedure (such as after opening the cover to top-up the
hopper), requires the electronics to push the RPM of the smoke extraction fan up to POWER 5 (P5) for a few moments. At P5,
therefore, the negative pressure inside the hopper must always be > 20 Pa (recommended 22/23 Pa to preserve the margin).

30-RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE USE
ONLY CORRECT INSTALLATION AND APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF THE APPLIANCE CAN GUARANTEE
CORRECT OPERATION AND SAFE USE OF THE PRODUCT.
We would like to inform you that we are aware of cases of malfunctioning of domestic pellet-fuelled heating products, mainly due to
incorrect installation and use, as well as inadequate maintenance.
We would like to assure you that all of our products are extremely safe and certified according to European standards of reference. The
ignition system has been tested with the utmost attention to enhance ignition efficiency and to prevent any type of problem, even in the
worst operating conditions. In any case, as with any other pellet-fuelled product, our appliances must be installed correctly and undergo
regular periodical cleaning and maintenance to guarantee safe operation. Our studies show us that malfunctioning is mainly due to the
combination of part or all of the following factors:
• Brazier holes obstructed or brazier deformed, due to lack of maintenance and conditions which can cause delayed ignition,
generating an anomalous production of unburnt gases.
• Insufficient combustion air due to a reduced or clogged air inlet duct.
• Use of smoke ducts nonconforming to regulatory installation requirements, failing to guarantee an adequate draught.
• Partially clogged chimney, due to lack of maintenance, reducing the draught and making ignition difficult.
• End chimneypot not conforming to the indications of the instruction manual, and therefore not suitable to prevent potential inverse
draught.
• This factor is crucial when the product is installed in especially windy areas, such as coastal regions.
The combination of one or more of these factors may generate severe malfunctioning conditions.
To keep this from occurring, it is crucial to guarantee that the product is installed in compliance with standards in force.
Furthermore it is of the utmost importance to comply with the following simple rules:
• Every time the brazier is removed for cleaning, it must always be put back properly in the work position before using the product,
completely removing any residual dirt left on the support base
• Pellets must never be loaded in the brazier manually, neither before ignition or during operation.
• The build-up of unburnt pellets following failed ignition must be removed before repeating ignition. Also check that the combustion
air inlet/smoke outlet is fitted correctly in place and working properly.
• If ignition fails repeatedly, immediately suspend use of the product and contact a qualified technician to check its operation.
Compliance with these indications is absolutely sufficient to ensure proper operation and to avoid any type of problems with the product.
If the aforementioned precautions are not taken, and during ignition the brazier is overloaded with pellets thus generating anomalous
smoke in the combustion chamber, carefully follow the indications below:
• Do not disconnect the electrical power to the product for any reason whatsoever: this would stop the smoke extractor, releasing
smoke into the room.
• Take the precaution of opening the windows to ventilate the installation room from any smoke (the chimney might not be working
properly)
• Do not open the fire door: this would compromise regular operation of the smoke extraction system to the chimney.
• Simply switch the stove off by operating on the on-off button on the control panel (not the rear power supply socket button!) and
move away until the smoke has been completely extracted.
• Before attempting re-ignition, clean the brazier and its air passage holes completely of all deposits and unburnt pellets. Put the
brazier back in place, removing any residue from its support base. If ignition fails repeatedly, immediately suspend use of the
product and contact a qualified technician to check its operation and the chimney.
Only by properly servicing and cleaning the product is it possible to ensure its safety and correct operation.
ATTENTION!
All the cleaning operations of all parts must be performed with the product completely cold and unplugged.
Disconnect the product from the 230V power supply before performing any maintenance operation
The product requires little maintenance if used with certified good quality pellets.
REMEMBER THAT ONLY A CORRECTLY POSITIONED AND CLEAN BRAZIER CAN GUARANTEE SAFE IGNITION AND OPTIMAL
OPERATION OF YOUR PELLET PRODUCT. IN CASE OF FAILED IGNITION AND AFTER ANY OTHER BLOCK STATE OF THE PRODUCT, IT
IS ESSENTIAL TO EMPTY THE BRAZIER BEFORE EVERY RESTART
For the brazier to be cleaned properly, remove it from its housing completely and thoroughly clean all the holes and the grate on the
bottom. If high quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the
component.

31-CLEANING
Ash pan cleaning
Remove and empty the ash pan “C”. Remove any residual ash before reinserting the pan. Your experience and the quality of the pellets will
determine the ash pan cleaning frequency. However, it is recommended not to exceed 2 or 3 days.

LOWER COMPARTMENT
CLEANING
ATTENTION!
Do not use abrasive products and do not spray the glass cleaning product on the painted parts and on the door
gaskets (ceramic fibre cord).
The filter is made o f wire mesh and is soft and flexible to the touch therefore, when cleaning, be careful not to crush
or damage it. In the event of breakage it must be replaced.
ATTENTION!
Never let the stove work without the air filter fitted. MCZ cannot be held liable for any damage caused to the internal
components if this requirement is not complied with.

31-CLEANING
Clean the upper exchanger when the stove is cold, following the operations below:
• remove the brazier “A”
• lift the firebox grid “B”
• remove the cast iron side “R” by lifting it upwards slightly to let the lower interlocking system come out, then lower it in order to let
the upper ones come out
• remove the back “Q”

CLEANING THE SMOKE DUCT AND GENERAL CHECKS
Clean the smoke outlet system, especially around the Tee fittings, elbows and any horizontal sections of the smoke duct.
For information on periodically cleaning the flue, contact a skilled chimney sweep.
After having cleaned the smoke duct remove the
cap “S”, on the back of the stove, via the four screws
“V” and vacuum any ash deposits.
Check the seal of the ceramic fibre gaskets on
the door of the stove. If necessary, order new
replacement gaskets from the retailer or contact
an authorised service centre to carry out the
operation.
ATTENTION:
The frequency with which the smoke
outlet system is cleaned depends on
the use of the stove and the type of
installation.
We recommend relying on an V
authorised support centre for
end-of-season cleaning and
maintenance, as they will carry S
out all of the previously mentioned
operations and also inspect the
stove components.

31-CLEANING
SHUTDOWN (end of season)
At the end of each season, before switching the product off, it is recommended to remove all the pellets from the hopper with a vacuum
cleaner with a long pipe.
We recommend removing the unused pellets from the hopper because they can retain moisture. Disconnect any combustion air ducting
that can lead to moisture inside the combustion chamber but, above all, ask the specialised technician to refresh the paint inside the
combustion chamber with the special silicone spray paints (available at any store or Technical Assistance Centre) during the necessary
annual end of season scheduled maintenance operations. This way the paint will protect the inner parts of the combustion chamber,
blocking any type of oxidative process.
When not in use the appliance must be disconnected from the mains power supply. It is recommended to remove the
power cable for additional safety, especially in the presence of children.
If, when the stove is switched on again, the control panel display does not light up, it means that it may be necessary to replace the service
fuse.
There is a fuse box next to the power socket. After having unplugged the appliance, open the fusebox cover with a screwdriver and replace
the fuses if necessary (5x20 mm T delayed/ 3. 15 A 250 V) - seek assistance from an authorised and qualified technician.
